Title
Pedagogy of democracy : [electronic resource] feminism and the Cold War in the U.S. occupation of Japan / Mire Koikari.
Published
Philadelphia, PA : Temple University Press, 2008.
Description
1 online resource (x, 226 pages)
Review
"Pedagogy of Democracy re-interprets the U.S. occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1952 as a problematic instance of Cold War feminist mobilization rather than a successful democratization of Japanese women as previously argued. By combining three fields of research - occupation, Cold War, and postcolonial feminist studies - and examining occupation records and other archival sources, Koikari argues that postwar gender reform was part of the Cold War containment strategies that undermined rather than promoted women's political and economic rights."
